Females tend to be more anxious than males while engaging in mathematics, which has been linked lower math performance and higher avoidance. A possible repercussion of this gender difference is the underrepresentation females STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, math), as competencies are an essential part succeeding such fields. related, but distinct, area research suggests that outperform tasks require spatial processing (i.e., ability mentally visualize, rotate, transform visual...
Previous research has shown that math homework help of higher-math-anxious parents impedes children’s learning and facilitates the development anxiety. In present study, we explored a possible explanation for this phenomenon by examining relations between parents’ anxiety, their homework-helping styles (i.e., autonomy- controlling-supportive), child’s achievement. Parents children ages 11 to 14 completed an online survey. Using path analysis, examined among parental factors ability, styles)...
In the current study, we used a multi-method approach to understand quality of math homework-helping interactions between parents and their children how parents’ children’s own achievement anxiety relate interaction. Forty Canadian (ages 10–12 years; grades 5 7) completed self-report measures general anxiety. Parents standardized assessments were then recorded as they engaged in simulated homework Coders assessed parent–child interaction during Parent–child dyads generally performed well on...
<p xmlns="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1">Comparison shopping is good financial practice, but situations involving numbers and computations are challenging for consumers with math anxiety. We asked North Americans (N = 256) to select the better deal between two products differing in volume price. As predicted, anxiety was negatively related performance on this Price Comparison Task. then explored mechanism underlying relation by testing competency, price calculation ability, need...
The numerical distance effect (NDE) is an important tool for probing the nature of representation. Across two studies, we assessed degree to which NDE relates one's performance on spatial tasks investigate role processing in comparison and, by extension, cognition. We administered and a variety thought tap into different aspects processing. Importantly, both simultaneous task standard task, given claims that NDEs arise these are different. In elicited when comparing simultaneously presented...
